Jim,
This "should" work. The trip function is designed to work off the
current. HOWEVER - I'm not "sure" whether the voltage rating has any
effect on what the breaker does. I know you should never run a breaker
ABOVE its rated voltage. This is due to being able to interrupt the arc.
A fuse WILL open under over current without the voltage being an issue.
I'd find a True Value hardware store and get the old screw in fuses.
